Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Yellow Black White FG
Laser Orange - 831958 801
New with box
The Upper:
- 8 years ago in 2017, Nike released the Vapor XI featuring a full Teijin synthetic upper and a newly designed ribbed pattern throughout the upper
- The upper used dozens of raised horizontal grooves that wrapped around the boot, providing added texture for better touch nad a more secure fit
- Nike continued with the "ACC" (All Conditions Control) coating that provided a consistent touch and feel in all weather conditions
The Sole Plate:
- The Mercurial Vapor models are known for their ultra lightweight sole plates and cutting edge designs, with this being an exemplary design
- Nike used a one piece Nylon material that was very flexible and extremely durable, perhaps one of the most durable sole plates in the history of the Mercurial
- The new sole plate followed the foots anatomy, having parts of the sole plate raised to help with reducing pressure and strain
- The studs used a chevron design and the stud placement was strategically places to help with increased traction as well as helping with pressure of the sole
Notes and Comments:
- The Vapor XI has to be one of the best Mercurial Vapors of the past 10 years, with an upper that was uniquely design and a completely revamped sole plate
- As the years have gone on, the Vapor XI has been scarce, it seems Nike only produced them for a short period of time and there was very little excess stock
